Prison service health commission recommends Janoušek sentence be interrupted for year to allow patient access to medical care

The Czech Prison Service’s Health Commission has recommended that time being served by businessman Roman Janoušek for his role in a hit-and-run case be interrupted for one year, following health complications. Mr Janoušek underwent surgery recently and was originally to have already returned behind bars. Doctors on the commission, studying his case, confirmed that neurological care the patient requires would not be available in prison. Mr Janoušek’s lawyer declined to comment; the convict has three-and-a-half years remaining on his original 4.5 year sentence.
